nice spids . Thinking about getting a T myself. Are they easy to look after? I can't be there every day, what do you recomend for a set up?
I've not checked any care sheets yet...

Thanks Leanne
Ts are quite easy to care for cervantes.
I have all my Ts in plastic, well ventilated containers.
These exo terra faunariums are good, designed for spiders and inverts.
Exo Terra Faunariums<br>Large Flat Suppliers of Arachnids and other quality Invertebrates
This is a pic of my L.parahybana's tank setup:


Different types of T need different kinds of set up.
My H.lividum is a burrower and prefers a more humid tank, so she has less floor space but a much taller tank so she can burrow and i spray her tank a lot.
Whereas a G.rosea or an L.parahybana prefer it dryer and don't usually burrow, so i give them tanks with more floor space.

I feed my Ts a couple of crickets a week, if theyve just molted i leave it a while before feeding again to let their fangs harden up.

Heres a couple of good care sheets ive found helpful
Chilean Rose Tarantula Care Sheet
Pinktoe Tarantula Care Sheet
L. parahybana Caresheet

Hope this helps
